Welcome

A Touch of Montana History

The Kleffner Ranch & Pavilion is conveniently located just one mile south of East Helena towards Montana City on the banks of the beautiful Prickly Pear Creek. It dates back to the late 1800's and was built as a progressive cattle ranch and special meeting place for the highly elite of that era. This historical landmark has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977. The rich history and beauty of the ranch holds much admiration and affection for Montanans young and old alike.

No longer a working cattle ranch but a popular "wedding destination" location, the Kleffner Ranch is well-known for special events, company parties, family gatherings, and Bus Tours. The historic barn is majestic and the lovely creekside park is the perfect place for your outdoor wedding ceremony. We are easy to find and close to hotels and restaurants.

Kleffner Ranch is located on the picturesque Prickly Pear Creek and surrounded by spectacular mountain views. The Kleffner Ranch is just 4 miles southeast of Helena, the Montana state capitol.
